For over a thousand years Roman conquerors returning from the wars enjoyed the honor of triumph, a tumultuous parade. In the procession came trumpeteers, musicians and strange animals from conquered territories, together with carts laden with treasure and captured armaments.

A slave stood behind the conqueror holding a golden crown and whispering in his ear a warning: that all glory is fleeting.
